The Bahamas Bowl announced Popeyes would be the title sponsor of the inaugural postseason game Tuesday, according to a news release.

The Game will be played Dec. 24 in Nassau, Bahamas and will feature teams from Conference USA and the Mid-American Conference.

…

According to the release, “The Popeyes Bahamas Bowl will first bowl game played outside the United States since the 2010 International Bowl in Toronto.”

Let us now take this opportunity to embark on an important Popeyes-related undertaking — ranking the best fast food restaurant in the world’s side items. As a native Louisianan and lifelong Popeyes eater, I feel like I have some authority on this.

1. Mashed potatoes and gravy.

2. Red beans and rice.

3. Biscuits.

4. Cajun fries.

5. Cajun rice.

6. Macaroni and cheese.

7. Onion rings.

8. Green beans.

9. Corn on the cob.

10. Cole slaw.

Feel free to disagree in the comments. However, if you do so you are WRONG.

1) You have to move red beans and rice up to the top. It can be a fickle beast from store to store but done right OOooooo WEEE.
2) Since they are on the list, biscuits HAVE to move up to 2nd. I’ve found that even if a store screws the pooch on the red beans, the biscuits are always on point.
3) I’ve never been a fan of most places mash pots simply because of how easy they are to make with little to no effort — but that gravy tho.. One of the few places where that tandem holds a solid ranking and thereby deserving of the 3rd spot JUST beating out …
4) Cajun rice/Fries. these stay tied together in my book, even if the make me feel like I am disrespecting anyone that has sucked a crayfish head.

Blah Blah Blah

9. Green Beans – Why WHY?! does Popeyes not serve either Spinach OR Stewed Okra instead of this travesty
10. Cole Slaw — See above and realizes the reason the Green Beans were considered a viable option.
